Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf

Happy Halloween!

We carved pumpkins last Saturday.
Too bad they molded in two days!

We have had a fun filled day today! I recently joined the Hampstead Women's Club and this morning they organized a Halloween event for the kids. We paraded down High Street for some trick or treating.

Avery was a bit overwhelmed by all the activity, she wouldn't walk and she cried almost the entire route. There was a cute Halloween background and photographer to take pictures of the kids but I'm pretty sure we just got tears in ours. The event was based out of our local cinema. After the parade there were lunch boxes for the kids, food trays for the adults and we watched Monsters Inc. Avery lasted through about half of the movie and then we headed home.



This evening we went trick or treating through our neighborhood. The majority of houses do not accept trick or treaters but those with a lit jack o'lantern do. The first house we went to I was told he was not old enough and was not given a treat. What a way to start out! We only went to a hand full of houses but Avery quickly caught on to picking out her treat and putting it in her bag. One house handed out a sweet and a two pound coin and he told the kids to tell their mom to take them to a shop.



Avery had her first piece of candy too.
